Shower tray repair in Ellenabeich

How we handle shower tray repair in Ellenabeich

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Ellenabeich: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ellenabeich?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ellenabeich.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Ellenabeich and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repair or replace in Ellenabeich?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Ellenabeich, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
